My daughter's 2002 Neon is having a problem - when stopped at light it hesitates and sometimes stalls. When you are backing up and turning the wheel hard it will sputter and try to stall. Any suggestions?

If I replace a non-tach cluster with a tach equipped cluster from a salvage yard, will this mess up the odometer or is the mileage stored only in the BCM? Matt

We have a 2002 neon that won't start and is giving us a 0320 error "no reference signal from crankshaft position sensor detected during cranking". We changed out the sensor and it still wont start. Is there something else that could be causing that error? thanks

Winter is coming and we have moved to an area of heavy snowfall. The all seasons on my wife's car are 195/50 R 16 and it seems impossible to find winter tires in this size. Has anyone found this size snows or is there another size that would work? Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks.

« Go to a wrecker and get a set of 14 or 15 inch steel wheels and get a common size snow tire. Much easier to swap wheels than mounting and balancing every change of season. »
